以花會友
雖然父母早就從農村走進城市，但農民基因很顯然隔代遺傳到我身上。從小我就對花花草草有濃厚的興趣，有了自己的院子之後更是一發而不可收

我收集的兩篇文章，希望對大家有用。

（一）病蟲害
首先看看是否有害蟲。如果葉片粗糙幹黃，那是有紅蜘蛛；如果葉子出現黃點，則是介殼蟲為害。防治可用70%敵百蟲1000倍液或40%樂果加水2000倍噴灑。
如果是病毒引起的，則葉片發黃並會迅速蔓延成片，應及時摘除燒掉，再噴多菌靈或波爾多液加以防治。[閱讀全文]

所有照片都是在我家院子裏拍的。兩瓶插花的原料也都來自院子裏。有的照片太暗，我的攝影技術還有待提高：-）

這是我參照一個網址上的設計，稍做修改弄出來的。http://www.highcountrygardens.com/99518.html照片是兩年前拍的。兩張都是後院，隻不過拍攝角度不同。現在長得更大了，且連成片，看上去比圖上的更好看些。圖中空缺地方已由類似植物填滿。這種類型的花園應該是屬於cottagegarden，以多年生草本植物為主。對我先生來講，稍嫌亂了些。他喜歡整整齊齊的類型，被我嘲笑為typicalengin[閱讀全文]

不過一般來說，一個院子不要多於10種植物，不然看著很亂。
可以有一兩顆落葉樹，1兩棵長青樹，另外灌木，ornamentalgrass,perennial,annual等等。
數目以1，3，5，7為好。比如1棵mediumsizetree,3shrubs,5irises,7snapdragons.小的花要多種，連成片，不然沒有impact.

牡丹（Paeoniasuffruticosa,treepeony）是芍藥科芍藥屬的落葉灌木。牡丹有木質的枝幹，冬天葉子枯掉，但枝幹不死，來春枝上發新葉出來。牡丹較芍藥早兩三個星期開花，而且花也稍大一些。牡丹可長到兩米高，四月下旬至五月開花，花大而美麗。但花期不長，兩三星期左右。花期雖短，花謝之後仍綠葉蔥蔥，值得在花園裏占據一席之地。牡丹因為價格較貴，而且在我住的地方太冷[閱讀全文]
